Sweet, sweet summertime is here—and you've never felt this much of a dislike for your long locks resting on the back of your neck. News flash: rocking sweaty strands isn't a hot beauty trend yet. Save yourself the hairstyling struggle this season and pull your hair up into a ponytail—one that's jazzed up with celebrity-approved braids, curls, and tousled waves!
The Duchess of Cambridge herself favors a pretty ponytail. Kate Middleton’s low-key updo shows off her flowy locks and is your new go-to look for a Friday at the office.

Mad Men’s Jessica Paré’s ponytail, fastened high on her head, features playful and relaxed twists, which would look flawless with a contrasting cosmetics look. How about a charcoal smoky eye?

Your hairstyling excuses aren't valid here. A side-ponytail is the simplest 'do you could possibly put together in the comforts of your own vanity. We love how Amy Poehler's wispy bangs add femininity to the overall feel.
![Rihanna ponytail](https://media.okmagazine.com/brand-img/GaUvmEC9C/333x500/2014/07/rihanna-ponytail.jpg 333w)
You don’t have to kiss voluminous hair goodbye after summer solstice. Rihanna’s peppy ponytail is enhanced with tendrils upon tendrils.

So you want hair like Blake Lively. Oh, don't we all. Copy her braided ponytail look and turn on an episode of Gossip Girl. Because why not?

Transform your gym ponytail look to something a celeb would rock on a red carpet with an extreme middle part and a sleek finish like Jordana Brewster.

Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo's ponytail exudes edginess with mini braided details and natural texture.

How about some hair accessories? Hollywood sweetheart Bella Thorne decorated her ponytail with strips of fabric and ribbons—much like the Chanel models during Fall 2014 Fashion Week.

Kate Beckinsale perfects this 'do. Her bouncy look adds in bouffant-like details near the crown and glam waves.

So you already know about wrapping a section of hair around the base of the ponytail to hide a basic hair tie. But did you ever think about braiding that section instead? That's what Selena Gomez did in this hairstyle!
